3 | 471, 9432 |
157, 3144 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 157 x 3144 = 1480824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1480824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9171/471,3615/9432 is 3/1480824
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 471,9432 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,9432) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,9432) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(471,9432) = ( 471 × 9432 ) / 3
LCM(471,9432) = 4442472 / 3
LCM(471,9432) = 1480824
